that every picture I have seen of President Obama shaking hand, he does so with his left hand on the handshaker's arm or shoulder. That is far more intimate ... welcoming ... than the standard "stand back extend your hand" kind of shake. It's almost like he wants to be there!

That's very special for a President. He has a heart with compassion and the ability to love people.

And I love him for that.
